Sustainability and Product Care
With the same great fit and durable wicking fabric as the Mello Tight, the Mello Short are made to stay in place and keep you cool whatever your activity.
- Sweat-wicking material keeps you comfortable
- 4-way stretch provides freedom of movement
- High waist and deep waistband for a secure fit
The Mello Short’s four-way stretch lets you move with freedom, whether that’s a quick morning trail run or a full day climbing at sun-baked Spanish crags. With a shortened length and a wicking fabric, they’re designed to keep you comfortable and cool when the temperatures climb.
The close (but not compressive) fit is designed to stay in place whatever your activity, without slipping down. A high waist with a deep waistband stays in place, offers more coverage and is more comfortable under harnesses and rucksack hip-belts. The fabric is fully opaque so you don’t end up revealing more than you intended!
The Mello Short had to be able to withstand the (often literal) scrapes we get ourselves into outdoors. The soft nylon knit is deceptively hardwearing, providing extra durability when squeezing past rocks or getting into unexpected battles with bracken after one too many wrong turns.

Reducing our carbon footprint

Our targets are to halve our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2025 based on 2018 base year and reduce our total carbon intesnity by 15% every year to achieve genuine net zero by 2050.
